Los Angeles Maritime Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that uses hands-on experiences at sea to provide an array of social, education, and leadership development opportunities to middle school and high school students in San Pedro and Wilmington, and throughout Los Angeles County. Our TopSail Youth Program is offered year-round aboard the Tall Ships SSV Irving Johnson and SSV Exy Johnson, 110-foot traditionally rigged vessels named after sail training pioneers who sailed around the world seven times with young crews. Our purpose-built vessels and their young crews were proclaimed the “Official Tall Ships and Maritime Ambassadors of the City of Los Angeles” at their launch in 2002.
We offer:
• Day programs and voyages
• Hands-on STEM learning
• Maritime skill-building and sea-time certification
• Boatbuilding
• Private charters
• Community sails
• Volunteer Youth Crew Program
• Adult volunteer program
One Saturday per month, at 2:00 pm, Los Angeles Maritime Institute invites you to join us for a coastal awareness educational experience and exploration sail aboard one of our tall ships. The ship departs from Berth 78 in San Pedro’s Ports o’ Call Village for a 2 hour round trip excursion along the coastline.
Our TopSail STEM Adventure Program builds on our signature program and expands the STEM framework organic to our program. Tall ships are exciting hands-on STEM learning environments!
Los Angeles Maritime Institute’s award-winning TopSail Youth Program exposes youth to a world beyond their communities where they are provided with real-life challenges and hands-on learning opportunities not available in the traditional classroom. Youth who have participated in our program become role models for other youth, demonstrating firsthand the power of at-sea experiences to change lives!
This volunteer program for ages 13-19 has become well established as a vital component of LAMI’s mission.
While at sea or on land, Voyager Camp will explore topics in marine biology, maritime history, island ecology and have some fun with traditional Maritime arts! Learn the ropes as you challenge yourself with exciting new opportunities: leaving the dock, setting and adjusting sails, keeping a ship on course, setting the anchor, and living aboard a ship for a week.
